[00:00:00] End Of The Beginning - David Phelps
[00:48:00] I was taking a trip on a plane the other day 
[00:50:00] Just wishin' that I could get out 
[00:53:00] When the man next to me saw the book
[00:55:00] In my hand and asked me what it was about 
[00:58:00] So I settled back in my seat  "A best-seller "
[01:01:00] I said  "a hist'ry and a myst'ry in one "
[01:04:00] Then I opened up the book and began to
[01:06:00] Read from Matthew  Mark  Luke and John   
[01:12:00] He was born of a virgin one holy night
[01:16:00] In the little town of Bethlehem 
[01:19:00] Angels gathered 'round Him underneath
[01:21:00] The star singing praises to the great I AM 
[01:24:00] He walked on the water  healed The lame 
[01:27:00] And made the blind to see again 
[01:30:00] And for the first time here on earth
[01:32:00] We learned that God could be a friend 
[01:35:00] And though He never  ever did a single thing wrong 
[01:38:00] The angry crowd chose Him 
[01:41:00] And then He walked down the road
[01:43:00] And died on the cross and
[01:45:00] That was the end   of the beginning "
[02:00:00] "That's not a new book  that's a Bible "
[02:02:00] He said  "And I've heard it all before 
[02:05:00] I've tried religion  it's shame and guilt 
[02:07:00] And I don't need it anymore 
[02:10:00] It's superstation  made-up tales 
[02:13:00] Just to help the weak to survive "
[02:16:00] "Let me read it again " I said  "But listen closely 
[02:19:00] This is gonna change your life "
[02:22:00] "He was born of a virgin one holy
[02:24:00] Night in the little town of Bethlehem 
[02:28:00] Angels gathered 'round Him underneath
[02:30:00] The star singing praises to the great I AM 
[02:33:00] He walked on the water  healed the lame 
[02:36:00] And made the blind to see again 
[02:39:00] And for the first time here on earth
[02:41:00] We learned that God could be a friend 
[02:44:00] And though He never  ever did a single thing wrong 
[02:47:00] The angry crowd chose Him 
[02:50:00] And then He walked down the road
[02:52:00] And died on the cross and
[02:53:00] That was the end of the beginning "
[03:13:00] "The end of the beginning "
[03:14:00] He said with a smile  "What more
[03:17:00] Could there be  He's dead 
[03:20:00] You said they hung Him  put nails in
[03:22:00] His hands and a crown of thorns on His head "
[03:26:00] I said  "I'll read it again 
[03:29:00] But this time there's more 
[03:30:00] And I believe that this is true:
[03:32:00] His death wasn't the end but the
[03:35:00] Beginning of life that's completed in you 
[03:39:00] Don't you see  He did all this for you   "
[03:45:00] "He was born of a virgin one
[03:50:00] Holy night in the little town of
[03:52:00] Bethlehem  All the angels singing
[03:56:00] Praises to the great I AM 
[03:59:00] He walked on the water 
[04:01:00] Healed the lame  and made the blind to see 
[04:05:00] And for the first time here on earth 
[04:07:00] Did you know that God could be a friend 
[04:10:00] And though He never  ever did a single thing wrong 
[04:14:00] He was the one the crowd chose 
[04:16:00] And then He walked and He died 
[04:19:00] But three days later  three days later 
[04:25:00] Three days later   
[04:30:00] He rose  Three days later He rose 
[04:55:00] You see  He came  He lived 
[04:59:00] And He died 
[05:03:00] But that was the end of the beginning
